There's something in the moment when you can make them laugh or cry and show and incredibly compassionate side of life. I find that a really exemplary way to live.

Back in the 60s, San Francisco artists lived in communes.

It's the most extraordinary and saddest thing, the amount of talent out there not being seen.

I used to be a street singer in San Francisco.

If children gave up when they fell for the first time, they would never learn to walk.

Adversity will surface in every life. How we meet it makes the difference.
